Is Sunday the best day of the week for you? Or is it the day you dread because the week starts the next day again, and your weekend will soon be over?
Sundays are sometimes good and sometimes bad, and sometimes just plain weird.
Love them, hate them, or any feeling between, Sunday provides plenty of material to write about. Use these prompts to help your students get creative about Sunday.
How to Use Prompts
These are meant to be thoughtful and reflective and to improve writing skills.
